Myspace Q&A Video, talks about Customisation, Design, Speed and More

photo © 2008 Jerry Silfwer | more info (via: Wylio) So Myspace finally comes out of the wood with a new video answering important questions regarding its last  revamp. I must say I was kind of disappointed with Mike Jones Leweb interview and more importantly with the way Myspace seemed to ignore comments (mostly negative) on their Artist HQ blog . So far only their twitter support had been satisfying though they could have used two community managers instead of one. Myspace Q&A #1 is apparently the first instalment of  a series of video. It is great that they finally resort to vlogs to communicate,and with the last announcements  I still think they can  make their necessary come-back. There is anyway no exact  replacement solution at the moment .

As you would expect this vlog is about customisation , the website new design and its speed or lack thereof.

Thanks to MSC_Page for pointing out this video,  this guy is such a  valuable resource for everything Myspace .

Freeware: Bolder Sounds present Mini Sax Sample Set Kontakt/EXS24

From their website

Kontakt 3+ / Apple EXS24 This instrument is the creation of Juan Del Rio in Redondo Beach, California. You can watch him on YouTube by searching his name with ‘mini sax’ or email him at [email protected] if you are interested in buying one, they sell for an incredible price of $40.00! The sound of the mini sax has somewhat of a cross between the clarinet and the sax. It is in the key of Bb and is an octave in range. For this sample set, I have expanded to range to 2 octaves going from G2 to G4 using polyphonation from the excellent Redmatica Keymap application. Bo Clausen has contributed his usual wonderful KSP Kontakt scripting which is explained in a bit more detail later in the .pdf manual. Thank You Bo!

Goldbaby Freeware E-mu SP-1200 drum machine samples

The SP-1200 was THE drum machine & sampler combo of legendary status among old school rap and hip hop artists from the eighties and nineties. It is similar to today's Akai MPC samplers - it is a sampler plus drum machine. It has limited sampling specs: 26.040 kHz and 12-bit resolution. However the dirtiness of that sound is great for hip hop and house music. http://www.vintagesynth.com/emu/sp1200.php

The free pack consists of "105 x 24 bit wavs created using an SP1200.Gritty, warm and dripping in sweet 12 bit dirt."

To download it and other freebies: http://goldbaby.co.nz/freestuff.html

Vintage: mira cook – drum machine Video

A cool tribute song to the  Mattel Synsonic drum machine by  Mira Cook ...

Here is a small description of the beast by HollowSun

It was a cheap and cheesy toy and it sounded fairly horrible... but what else would you expect from a toy manufacturer's attempt to cash in on the emerging drum machine market of the early '80s?

Someone at Mattel.... who are famous for their Barbie dolls and other children's toys... obviously had this idea that the company could (somehow) capitalise on this trend and make a few bucks.

To be fair to Mattel, though, whilst everyone else was scurrying to make drum machines that played patterns, the Synsonic was more like a kid's mini-Simmons that could be played manually using the four large velocity sensitive pads.

Of course, it was all analogue - no samples - and as a result, not one of the sounds was in the slightest bit realistic!
